Elements of Short Story
Overview
A Short Story            is similar to your dish. It needs
the best ingredients for you to enjoy its delectable taste.

                    Stories are made up of four important
                    elements:

                    Setting
                    Characters, Plot,
                    and Theme
                           Elements of a Short Story
Setting
Tells the reader where and when
 the story takes place.
Characters and
    Characterization
The people, and in some
 stories, the animals that take
 part in the story.
The description of the personalities
 of the characters in the story and
 the way in which an author
 reveals their personalities.
Two Identifications of
 Characters
                 1. Protagonist –
                   the hero of the story


                 2. Antagonist –
                   the villain in the story
                   who is always
                   opposing the
                   protagonist
Methods of Characterization
           Creating Believable Characters
• Indirect                      • Direct
  – physical appearance
                                   – the narrator’s
  – speech, thoughts, feelin         direct
    gs, or actions of the            comments
    character                        about a
                                     character
  – speech, thoughts, feelin
    gs, or actions of other
    characters
Plot
• The chain of related events that
  take place in a story.
• Built around conflict, which is
  a struggle between opposing
  forces.
•   The plot is the sequence or order of events in a
    story.


                                                       PLOT DIAGRAM
•   The plot includes:
Exposition Statement
    The part of the plot that tells how
    the story begins.
Rising Action
     The action in the story leading up
       to the climax.
                                                           Climax
Conflict
    The struggles or problems between
    opposing forces.
Climax                                                     Conflict
     The point of crisis in the plot. It
       may be the reader’s point of
       highest interest.

     Falling action
     The action in the story after
       the climax is revealed. Exposition                             Resolution
